http://skeptivet.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2011. New Jaguar sighting in southern Arizona. The Arizona Game and Fish Department and The Arizona Daily. Star are reporting a new sighting of a Jaguar in Arizona. This is the first sighting since the tragic case of Macho B. Back in February of 2009. It is good to see that Jaguars are still making their way into Arizona despite all the border issues which are potentially getting in their way. Links to this post. Sunday, November 13, 2011.

SkeptiVet: The usefulness and danger of herbal medicine.
http://skeptivet.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-usefulness-and-danger-of-herbal.html
Sunday, February 3, 2013. The usefulness and danger of herbal medicine. This is just a short post to draw attention to an excellent post by Edzard Ernst. Discussing the pitfalls of traditionally practiced herbal medicine. The only thing I would like to add is that the evidence for effectiveness and knowledge of potential toxicity is even less well known in animals than in humans. Especially in cats. February 22, 2013 at 9:02 AM. May 13, 2013 at 3:30 PM. I agree. And thank you very much for posting ab...

The first, and more important is a recent systematic review of the evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture for pain. The Skept Vet has addressed this review in detail here. Another human study was published recently on the effects of acupuncture on nausea in humans. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them' Albert Einstein. Monday, April 22, 2013. The food industry should learn to say ‘oops’. It doesn’t matter if you have the best intentions in the world if your customers think your intentions are rotten - and more and more often, consumers are saying they view Big Food in the same way as Big Tobacco. What do you think? Posted by Shelly Wallingford, MS, REHS. January 7, 2015 at 12:27 AM. Shelly Wallingford, MS, REHS.
